Miami, Florida Uninsured Motorist Lawyer

It is against the law in Florida for people to drive without carrying proof of current car insurance. If you have car insurance and get stopped by the police without your insurance card, you will get a ticket. To avoid paying a fine, you will have to go to court and show a copy of your current car insurance. This can take up a lot of your time and be prevented by just having your insurance card on you! To avoid getting a ticket, either make a photo copy of you insurance card or use your duplicate card and keep it in your wallet. It is important to have your insurance card on you and not in your car in case you get pulled over while driving someone else’s car.
